Resources elsewhere
The Barr Smith Library holds resources for all of these topics,
but
for in-depth research it may be necessary to consult the libraries of
Adelaide's
other two universities. Both
also have excellent collections of art resources and you can borrow with your UofA card:
University of South
Australia and Flinders University
Holdings of libraries Australia-wide can be searched using Libraries
Australia ,
the national bibliographic database.
The Library
of the Art Gallery of South Australia should only be
consulted
as a last resort.
